1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy ep-mode garbage !!, January 4, 2004

A great movie, a great director, big stars - and an awful video-transfer!! This movie was recorded in the strange ep-mode and so it is impossible to watch it. Don't buy it and wait for a better transfer in vhs or DVD..

4.0 out of 5 stars I don't know what version the other reviewer watched...., December 20, 2007

...but the tape that I saw of this movie was beautiful: letterboxed (in its proper 'scope aspect ratio), subtitled (in yellow, below the matte line), in SP - gorgeous picture and sound. It's a cool movie, too, starring Lino Ventura and Bourvil, about convicts working in a sawmill - unusual storyline and interesting setting, with themes of criminality, manly honor (I use that term un-ironically) and revenge. The guy who directed it, Robert Enrico, also did 'Incident at Owl Creek Bridge' and "The Old Gun", with Romy Schneider - both highly recommended also.
